It has always seemed that I could never find the clothing I was looking
for.
It shouldn't be so hard to find children's wear in organic fabrics
and gender neutral colours without monster trucks emblazoned all
over them.
It seemed so natural, with rolls of such gorgeous fabric surrounding
us, that we should branch into clothing.
And we all know how hard it is to find clothing that fits over a
cloth diapered 'silhouette'?
Currently we make the following items of clothing:
~pants
~knotty hats
~vests
Pants and hats first:
To fit well over cloth diapers we cut our pants a little roomier
through the 'seat' (they also work just dandily over non-cloth diapered
butts)
The pants are have gently elasticized waists. Legs are cut a bit
on the long side with a cuff to allow for maximum wear! (We l also
offer the pants in a shorter 'clamdigger' length for warmer seasons
and climates!)
Scroll down to see the sizing chart.
The pants are available in :
1. organic cotton fleece
1. organic cotton velour
2. organic wool interlock

And now
the vests:
I am so excited about these! We've been making them for awhile
now and it's nice to finally have them up on the site.
I was inspired to work on a vest design when our daughter received
a vest from a friend in Japan. Vests are apparently a common item
of clothing in Japan for keeping children warm in houses that don't
have central heating!
Living in an icebox of an old century home prompted me to work on
our own vest pattern. What's the big deal about vests, you ask?
Well
· Vests are so handy at keeping children warm without resticting
their motion.
· We use them as well for nighttime layers, over pyjamas!
· We even used them through the summer as a light layer over
a t shirt when the sun went down.
Our vests snap at the shoulder and under the arm to create a close
fitting garment that is easy to put and take off of even the wiggliest
of children. The vest is cut a little shorter in the front and a
little longer in the back to provide ample coverage for all the
crawling, bending, reaching and pretzelling that one might want
to do.
The vests are available in organic wool interlock. (We're also
working on an organic cotton fleece version with silkscreened designs!
Stay tuned!)
